Why choose Talbots' residential property solicitors?

The truth is, dealing with a property transaction alone can be complicated, especially when you’re buying your first home. Where to begin? What forms need filling in, and by when? How do you make local authority searches? Without a property law expert by your side to guide you through, the time it takes to complete your property purchase could double. The more time it takes, the less excitement.

With vast experience in all areas of property law and an extensive knowledge of the market, you can count on us. Our dedicated residential property solicitors will be there to field your questions and make the move quick and easy. 

But that’s not all. At Talbots Law, we have specific specialist teams dedicated to assisting clients with all property matters, and there is no question too complex. Perhaps you’re about to take your first step onto that property ladder? Or, are you upgrading or downsizing to something new? Whatever your plans, we have you covered.

How long does it take to purchase property?

Tricky question. The duration of property transactions varies, however, they currently take 14-16 weeks. With any luck, it will be sooner.

Often, it depends on The Chain. The Chain is the series of property transactions that lead to yours. For example, when you are waiting for the current owner of the property you’re purchasing to move out, they are usually playing the same waiting game on their new property, and so too are the current owners of that new property. Don’t panic – The Chain isn’t as bad as it sounds and generally doesn’t take longer than a few weeks. After all, everyone involved is eager to complete the transaction.

When it comes to making property searches and raising enquiries, our solicitors will be thorough but efficient, and do everything in our power to get the ball rolling and the contracts exchanged.

What’s the difference between an estate agent and a solicitor?

The main difference between property solicitors and real estate agents concerns their role in the selling or buying of a property. A solicitor is qualified to do the legal work involved with property transactions, from offer through to completion, while an estate agency will simply handle the property sales.

What our clients say about our Conveyancing Team

Talbots communication was very good throughout the entire house buying process. Everything was explained along the way, and we really liked the fact that we knew the cost of the services from day one. Thank you very much to all staff at Talbots.

The service was very professional, providing continuous feedback and support through the purchase and sale. All questions were answered promptly with explanation. The excellent communication put me at ease throughout the process and the staff were always supportive.

We have used your services for the purchase of our new home. Having never gone through the process before I was pleased every process was explained to me and any queries I had were quickly answered.

Extremely helpful and very straightforward in all communication on email and on the phone. Would highly recommend Talbots and will use them for all future work. Also, finally a law firm where the lawyers are friendly!

The team were really professional. The handover was completed at least a week before the agreed deadline. They were always quick to answer any queries and very understanding of personal situations. I would recommend Talbots Law to all of my friends and family.
